老師叮嚀:李輝老師說,學(xué)任何東西先要把一些概念說清楚——正名的過程“名不正則言不順”做任何一門學(xué)問,要知道這里頭的概念說的是什么意思——這就是所謂的“正名”。無論學(xué)習(xí)什么,必須先搞定定義,明白我們要學(xué)習(xí)的是什么。下面有關(guān)定語從句的內(nèi)容非常重要,希望你可以學(xué)會。經(jīng)過了全網(wǎng)首席高考英語名師李輝老師團隊高度認(rèn)真地整理校對、無錯、可信!可供全國各省高中生打印、背誦!

[if !supportLists]1.?[endif]什么是定語從句(attributive clause)?
定語從句從字面上看就是指在句中充當(dāng)定語的句子。著名語法學(xué)家薄冰解釋為,定語從句在句中作定語用,修飾句中的某一名詞或代詞。定語從句所修飾的詞叫先行詞。一般說來,定語從句緊跟在所修飾的先行詞之后。
?Eg:
I don’t like the book(先行詞)that I bought yesterday(定語從句).
?
[if !supportLists]2.?[endif]限制性定語從句和非限制性定語從句:
根據(jù)定語從句和先行詞的語義關(guān)系把定語從句分為限制性定語從句和非限制性定語從句。限制性定語從句與主句關(guān)系非常密切,通常沒有逗號隔開。限制性定語從句在句中不可缺少,否則主句的意義將不完整。非限制性定語從句與主句關(guān)系較為松散,它只是對先行詞的附加說明,即使省去也不影響主句的意義。例如:
Eg:
[if !supportLists]1)?[endif]This is the best film that I have ever seen. (限制性定語從句)
[if !supportLists]2)?[endif]Last night I saw a very good film, which was about robots. (非限制性定語從句)
?
3.定語從句的關(guān)系詞:
定語從句的關(guān)系詞按功能分為兩類,一類為關(guān)系代詞,在從句中充當(dāng)主語和賓語;一類是關(guān)系副詞,在從句中充當(dāng)狀語。詳見以下思維導(dǎo)圖:
????????????????????????????↗which : 指物,在從句中可充當(dāng)主語和賓語
?? ↗that : ? 既可指人也可指物,?成分同上
↗關(guān)系代詞 →who : ? 主格,指人,在從句中可充當(dāng)主語
????????????↘whom : 賓格,指人,在從句中可充當(dāng)賓語
定語從句關(guān)系詞↘whose : 所有格,既可指人也可指物,充當(dāng)從句中定語,指人有時也用of whom,指物時也可用of which
????????????????
????????????????????????↗when : 在從句中充當(dāng)時間狀語
↘關(guān)系副詞
????????????????????????↘where : 在從句中充當(dāng)?shù)攸c狀語
?
[if !supportLists]4.?[endif]選擇關(guān)系詞的訣竅:
通常來說,選擇關(guān)系詞的訣竅是:
[if !supportLists]1)?[endif]判斷是否為定語從句
A.定語從句一定要有先行詞,否則不是定語從句,例如,
Put the book where it is.在此where引導(dǎo)的是地點狀語從句,因為它沒有指定地點的先行詞,所以不是定語從句。但很多同學(xué)會用in which來代替where, 是錯把此句當(dāng)定語從句看。
試比較:Put the book to theplacewhere it belongs.(此句where引導(dǎo)的定語從句修飾先行詞the place)
[if !supportLists]B.[endif]定語從句為主從復(fù)合句,切莫把并列句當(dāng)定語從句而使用關(guān)系詞。
例如:
??????Many students got high marks this time, but only few of______are boys.
???????a. who ??b. whom ?c. them ?d. which
許多學(xué)生錯選擇答案b. whom。為什么呢?錯誤在于此句有并列連詞but,因此應(yīng)選擇答案c. them。
試比較:Many students got high marks this time, only few of whom are boys.
[if !supportLists]2)?[endif]找出從句中缺少什么成分,再判斷是指人還是指物,或指時間還是地點,據(jù)此以選擇關(guān)系詞,如:
[if !supportLists]A.?[endif]This is the place where I once worked for five years.
[if !supportLists]B.?[endif]This is the place that I visited a few days ago.
A句用where是因為結(jié)合先行詞來看從句缺少地點狀語,而B句用that是因為結(jié)合先行詞來看從句缺少指物的賓語。
[if !supportLists]3)?[endif]有時也可采取這樣的辦法,即把從句和先行詞連接起來,如果可連接且不缺任何成分,則選關(guān)系代詞;如果不可直接連接而需補充其它詞,則用關(guān)系副詞,如:
A.I will never forget the days when we played and studied together.
B.I will never forget the days that we spent together.
A句用when,是因為當(dāng)我們把從句和先行詞the days連接時,必須加上介詞on方能連接。例如:We played and studied together on the days.這里的the day前面就要用介詞on。
B句用that,是因為從句和先行詞the days可以直接連接,而不需補充任何詞。
例如:We spent the days together.
?
[if !supportLists]5.?[endif]特殊關(guān)系詞引導(dǎo)的定語從句
[if !supportLists]1)?[endif]關(guān)系代詞as
關(guān)系代詞as通常用在如下一些句型中:
[if !supportLists]A.?[endif]As is known to all/As you know , paper was first made in China. (as在從句中作賓語,指代整個主句的含義,有“正如---”之意)
??? 比較:It is known to all/You know that paper was first made in China.
??? 注意:which也有類似用法,然而which引導(dǎo)的定語從句不能放在句首,而as引導(dǎo)的 定語從句可以放在句首,也可在句末。例如:
Dorothy was always speaking highly of her role in the play, ________, of course , ?made the others unhappy. a.who ?b.which ??c.this ?d.what (本題為2000年高考題,選b)
[if !supportLists]B.?[endif]I have the same trouble as you have.
????????? 不過,當(dāng)先行詞被same修飾,且指“同一物品”時要用that。例如: She is wearing the same dress that she wore yesterday.
C. ??He is such a kind person as is always ready to help others.
[if !supportLists]2)?[endif]關(guān)系副詞why
關(guān)系副詞why(可由for which替代 )通常跟在先行詞the reason后引導(dǎo)定語從句,表示“---的原 因”。例如:
? The reason why he was late is that he helped an old man on his way to school.
注意比較:The reason that he gave to the teacher is unreasonable.二者的區(qū)別。
?
[if !supportLists]6.?[endif]指物時特定條件下which和that的選擇:
有些場合我們宜用關(guān)系代詞that,這些場合有:
[if !supportLists]1)?[endif]先行詞由序數(shù)詞和形容詞最高級修飾時,例如:
This is the first novel that I have ever read.
This is the most exciting film that I have ever seen.
[if !supportLists]2)?[endif]先行詞為all, everything, nothing, anything, little等不定代詞時,例如:
All that I need is a good rest.(that在此為從句賓語,可省略)
注意比較:What I need is a good rest.
不過:something后關(guān)系代詞用that和which均可。
[if !supportLists]3)?[endif]當(dāng)先行詞有the only, the last, the very修飾時關(guān)系代詞用that,例如:
This is the only thing that I want to do now.
This is the very book that interests me.
This is the last thing that I will do.
[if !supportLists]4)?[endif]當(dāng)先行詞既有人又有物時關(guān)系代詞用that,例如:
I like the books and the authors that our teacher introduced to us this morning.
[if !supportLists]5)?[endif]當(dāng)先行詞為疑問代詞who,或在who疑問句中時,關(guān)系代詞用that,例如:
Who that has common sense will do such a thing?
Who is the girl that got the first prize in the competition?
[if !supportLists]6)?[endif]當(dāng)關(guān)系代詞在定語從句中作表語時用that。例如:
This is no longer the place that it used to be。
He is not the man that he was.
7)定語從句內(nèi)容為解釋名詞的性質(zhì)、概念時,需用that。如:
A plane is a machine that can fly.?
有些場合宜用關(guān)系代詞which,例如:
[if !supportLists]1)?[endif]限制性定語從句中指物時關(guān)系代詞用which,例如:
They have gone to Beijing, which is the capital city of China.
2)作介詞的賓語并緊跟在其后使用which,
The ladder on which I was standing began to slip.
注意比較:The ladder which/that I was standing on began to slip.
還要注意:當(dāng)介詞為與動詞構(gòu)成的固定短語時介詞不可放在關(guān)系代詞前,例如:
This is the book that I have been looking for.
不可以說成,This is the book for which I have been looking.
[if !supportLists]3)?[endif]作先作詞的集體名詞著眼于集體的整體,關(guān)系代詞用which;若是指集體中的各個成員, 則用who,例如:
[if !supportLists]A.?[endif]The class, which is winning, is Class One, Grade Two.
[if !supportLists]B.?[endif]The class, who are all trying their best to do good deeds today, is in the charge of Mr. Zheng.
?
[if !supportLists]7.?[endif]避免從句中出現(xiàn)與關(guān)系代詞意義重復(fù)的詞:
要對學(xué)生強調(diào)關(guān)系詞本身在從句中充當(dāng)一定的成分,而避免出現(xiàn)重復(fù)詞。常見錯誤:
1)The book which you want to buy it is sold out.(which指代the book,it為重復(fù)詞)
???2)The house where he lives in is very large.(where指代in the house, in為重復(fù)詞)
?
8.如何區(qū)分定語從句與同位語從句:
許多學(xué)生容易混淆that引導(dǎo)的定語從句和that引導(dǎo)的同位語從句。分析要點是:定語從句的連詞that一定要在從句中充當(dāng)主語、賓語或表語的成份,而同位語從句的連詞that只起連接作用而不充當(dāng)任何成份。例如:
1)We have to accept the fact that they told us just now.
在這里that引導(dǎo)定語從句并充當(dāng)從句的賓語。
2)They have to come o terms with the fact that they have lost the chance of winning.
本句中that從句為fact的同位語從句,that在此不充當(dāng)任何成分。
?
9.如何區(qū)分定語從句和強調(diào)句型結(jié)構(gòu):
很多學(xué)生考試時容易把定語從句和強調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)混淆,尤其是強調(diào)句子的狀語時。
要點:可以采取刪除法,即把強調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)的It is/was --- that刪除,如果整個句子仍然完整,則為強調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu),例如:
It was at Christmas that John gave Mary a present.當(dāng)我們把It was---that拿去,此句仍然完整(At Christmas John gave Mary a present. ),因此,此處that不可由when取代。
試比較:It was Christmas when I received this beautiful vase.(此處when不可用that,因為當(dāng)我們把It was---that拿去時,句子不成立)
?
10.如何區(qū)分where引導(dǎo)的定語從句和where引導(dǎo)的狀語從句:
區(qū)分要點:where如果引導(dǎo)的是定語從句則一定要有先行詞,而where引導(dǎo)的狀語從句則無。例如:
1)I like to live in the housewhere there are many plants nearby.(定語從句)
本句where可由in which替代。
2)I like to live where there are many plants nearby.(地點狀語從句)
本句where不可由in which替代。
?
11.定語從句的主謂一致問題:
學(xué)生在做定語從句的練習(xí)時還容易在主謂一致問題上出錯,錯誤列舉如下:
[if !supportLists]1)?[endif]Anyone who want to go hiking will sign their names here.(who指代anyone為單數(shù),因此want需加改為為wants)
[if !supportLists]2)?[endif]Those who has finished their homework may go home.(who指代those為復(fù)數(shù),因此has需變?yōu)閔ave)
[if !supportLists]3)?[endif]He is one of the students who has passed the exam.(先行詞有one of修飾并且關(guān)系代詞作主語時,謂語動詞要用復(fù)數(shù),因此has應(yīng)改為have)
[if !supportLists]4)?[endif]He is the only one of the students who have passed the exam.(先行詞有the only one of修飾并且關(guān)系代詞作主語時,謂語動詞要用單數(shù),因此have應(yīng)改為has)
?
12.非限制性定語從句中the+noun.of which與whose+noun. 的換用,如:
1)??Mr. Burak lives in a big house, the window of which(=whose) faces south.
2)???Please pass me the book, the cover of which(=whose) is yellow.
?
